Hi Friends,
I need some advice on how to organize and celebrate New Year's at work. The target audience is approximately 200 people. Please do not suggest syncing with any event management; I would like this to be an in-house affair that simply involves people.
I have seen various similar posts posted earlier, but none of them has received a fruitful response so far ☹️. Seniors' help is humbly requested.
TIA,

Dear Medha,
If you are looking for 3 to 4 hours of indoor events, you can consider activities such as a treasure hunt, creative games like creating an ad and jingle, a "dress the boss" game, and team games where everyone is involved. You can find ideas online and depending on the available space, you can create in-house games. Starting with "tol ke bol" type games can help get people engaged, and you can also include activities like a ramp walk.
Good luck with your programs.

Hi,
Yes, it's a good place where people can display their talent in a group. However, people need lots of motivation and encouragement to participate, which I am experiencing while organizing our office party. I also request all managers and senior employees to come up with a 15-20 minute skit. In addition to this, games where a maximum number of people can participate, such as dance with the ring games, would be great. End the event with a surprise gift for the winner followed by a DJ. A party theme of black, red, or masks is also a good idea. So go ahead, and share your thoughts with us.

Hey,
Go for a theme party, anything you like. You can organize talent hunt programs and arrange for a DJ (people love to dance) and good food. Ask all the managers to accompany the team members; it will definitely help boost their morale. Involve one or two persons from each department to assist in selecting games, food items, etc. This way, people will not complain later about something missed in the arrangements.
All the best...

Hi...
What you can do is organize some games from 4 to 6 in the office for the year-end week. We had games like Carrom, Scrabble, Chess (as nominations were high, conducted them for all three days and took up the finals on the 4th day), Antakshri, Ad Mad, Dumb Charades (team-based - nominations were asked), and finally Housie for the 5th day, open to all the employees. On the 6th day, we organized a small get-together to announce the winners and served snacks.
It was real fun, as involvement was from across the departments and everyone could participate in one or the other game. Also, taking out 1 to 1.5 hours from work was relaxing for everyone. We really enjoyed a lot.
Maybe you can try this out this year.

Hi,
You can have sequence of events to welcome the New Year whole heartedly:-
- In addition to entertaining games & regular stuff for employees you may ask them to do some philanthropic activities. Encourage donation etc.. people will feel more connected to society.
- encourage people to kick start a good habit & ask them to set targets for themselves
-- Help to start such habits- put posters / send mailers with motivating messages
- Organize a mela with different concept conveying message: - “We care for you”
-- ask a nearest gym (or gym with multiple chains) to come for weight check & tie up for membership & discounts.. Few people may enroll
-- Ask parlors for similar thing.
-- can give free health checkup for your employees.. Many labs have checkup packages of general routine.
- - book stall – people can purchase books
There can be lots of thing try something more motivating for people.
Have a very prosperous & successful year ahead. :icon1:
